Since the founding of Indiana Landmarks in 1960, photographic images have
played a key role in the organization's promotion of historic preservation. Nothing provides more
oohs and ahhs or inspiration than a set of dramatic before-and-after images. These images have
formed the basis for educational programs and illustrated the foundation's magazine, the Indiana
Preservationist, for decades.

A Library Services Technology Grant allowed IUPUI to begin digitization of Indiana Landmarks'
slide collection, now making it available to the public. The collection contains images from
the early 1960s through present day and captures historic architecture throughout the state.
Educators will find the collection useful in documenting architectural styles and Indiana
history. Old house enthusiasts will find ideas for paint colors, restoration techniques, and
inspiration.

The visual image collection of Indiana Landmarks is only one component
of the organization's library and information center. For more information on the library, click
